Sure the prices are high but these are designer brands after all and to be expected. Although I have to admit Incu marks it up quite high. This place fits right into my approach to shopping. I don't shop often at all so I have a small wardrobe, but when I do I tend to buy investment pieces that would last me years. I have bought a few items here (mostly when its on sale) and even the most simple items look different when worn. My favourite designer is Alexander Wang and his casual wear line is amazing. He puts a bit of cool to my usual uniform of jeans and t-shirt! The assistants there are usually design students and are nice enough when approached. I guess the clothes speak for themselves and their demeanor reflective of most designer stores. Truth is, at current market conditions, I would rather shop online because you can get all of these designers on websites such as net-a-porter at much lower prices. But if I can't wait or if its sold out overseas, this is when I head to Incu. Lovely store with beautiful clothing.

Incu is great, expensive but great, I don't often buy anything as I don't want to spend $45 for a singlet or $120 on shorts, but if I had an unlimited budget and less clothes I would shop there. They sell casual designer clothes from leading design houses and their clothes cover a range of styles, but are all excellent quality and extremely stylish. Although I try to keep my credit card in my pocket, I still like to have a browse.

Caress the shiny Italian leather shoes feel the pure soft woollen jumpers (sweaters... For my American friends) touch the designer shirts that won't see you coming! Cuff links, ties and belts are also available. Yes this is my kind of store. The salesman was extremely helpful and I tried a variety of jackets on for a semi formal function. I wanted something smart that could be dressed down later after the event. The fellow brought out several jackets and we matched several shirts that were on sale. He was so helpful that I bought the items and wore them that night. Now would you believe I was only on the left side of the shop. On the right side was ladies wear. I love a clothing place that the salesmen are really interested in helping you. I also value when they know their clothing and talk about the sizes of shirts, trousers, jackets both in metric and imperial measurements.

I was walking past Boston in Randwick and in the window I saw the bag I had to have, I know I sound…read morelike such a girl, but I really did need one. It was a crease textured grey satchel, very stylish. Boston offers an eclectic mix of men's casual and formal wear ranging including suits, ties cufflinks, leather shoes to Sneakers, T shirts and Jeans. I really liked some of the t shirts particularly the Botteva (a brand with which I am unfamiliar) shirt in the window featuring a dark reddish apple and the work "temptation", but unfortunately $69 is more than I wanted to spend on a shirt today. The shop has an interesting set up too, rather than having the typical cash register counter, they have an Italian leather lounge at the entrance of the shop with a computer sitting on leather- lined chest. I probably shouldn't have bought the bag, but I like it.

Whilst shopping for a suit for my wedding, I tried on a few suits at the big name designers…read more(Gucci, Zegna, and Tom Ford) and was not happy with what I was getting for the price. So I decided to go with a bespoke suit for my wedding day. Whilst making my first appointment over the phone, I described the fabric colour I was interested in and Matt knew exactly what I wanted. During my initial visits, Matt and his team advised me what would work best with the ideas I proposed. At the end of the day, I am not a fashion designer and benefited from their learned suggestions. Whilst my suit was being constructed, I decided to order a waist coat and shirt. The shirt was a no-brainer as the cost of a decent shirt off the rack is quite comparable to one custom made by Matt and his team. I required numerous fittings as I ordered a bespoke suit, shirt and waist coat. I initially thought the number of fittings was excessive but I am not a tailor or well versed in what is required to get a suit to be a perfect fit. As the time was getting close to my wedding, I reminded these guys of the urgency of the situation and they delivered what I required. They really don't mind being reminded of the urgency of a delivery date and will get things done. Matt and his team of tailors have produced a truly amazing outfit for me. They honestly exceeded my expectations. I look a gazzilion dollars in it and was amazed people were literally stopping in the street to comment on it as I posed for a photo outside. I would honestly recommend these guys. Matt and his team are competent, meticulous tailors, who are all very experienced in designing, and constructing an outfit that will be the best for your body shape and garment purpose. They are absolute perfectionists and will keep going with fittings and appointments until they are completely happy with the finished product. I can see how this can be frustrating to some, but if it's perfection you want then that's what you'll get. If you are considering getting anything from these guys, my advice is to be patient with the fittings and you will be rewarded with an impeccable finished product. Don't think for a second that you can get the same sort of quality that these guys produce off a rack or out of some sweatshop in Asia. Matt and his team are the real deal.

Just don't ask the staff here for help - once asked the sales assistant if she had anything in the store that would go with the skirt we were trying on, she gave us a spiel about how it doesn't matter about what does with what this season (it lasted for 5 minutes) then at the end, when we asked if she could recommend anything she responded with "hmm, no, sorry".

But the fabrics are not expensive, the cuts are quite interesting and there is something to suit almost any mood. It is a girlie store, so if you are into an underground sub-culture you may not appreciate this stock. However, winter, summer, autumn or spring, there is always a mini dress to be adorned with amongst other lavish attire to flirt the nights away with here. I think the sales staff and customers would really benefit from seeing the staff wear the clothes on their shift at least.

I purchased a suit that fit extremely well and it was purchased at a very reasonable price. The store is organized very well and they have very good choices for the well-dressed guy.

A very nice woman helped with getting the correct sizes and she was extremely knowledgeable, patient and seemed to really care. She even offered the arrangement of the alteration so I could have everything ready the following day - that was great! This was a bit more of an upscale store (from an American perspective in pricing), but it was well worth it since I left I very satisfied customer.
